of Design of the aircraft of the registration in Iraq, and request that all airworthiness directives addressing that aircraft, airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, appliance, or component part and any requirements for the establishment of specific continuing airworthiness programs be forwarded to the Authority.

(2) Whenever the State of Design considers that a condition in an aircraft,

airframe, aircraft engine, propeller, appliance, or component part is unsafe


15


as shown by the issuance of an airworthiness directive by that State, the Authority shall make the requirements of such directives apply to Iraqi registered civil aircraft of the type identified in that airworthiness directive.

(3) The Authority may identify manufacturer's service bulletins and other

sources of data, or develop and prescribe inspections, procedures and limitations, for mandatory compliance pertaining to affected aircraft in Iraq.

(4) A person shall not operate any Iraqi registered civil aircraft to which the

measures of this item apply, except in accordance with the applicable airworthiness directives.

23. Airworthiness Certificate for Commercial Air Transport The Authority shall consider an airworthiness certificate valid for commercial air transport only when accompanied by operations specifications issued by the Authority or State of the Operator which identifies the specific types of commercial air transport authorised. 24. Damage to Aircraft (1) When an aircraft registered in Iraq sustains damage, the Authority shall

determine whether the damage is of a nature such that the aircraft is no longer airworthy as defined by the appropriate airworthiness requirements.

(2) If the damage is sustained or ascertained when the aircraft is on the

territory of another contracting state, the authorities of the other contracting state shall be entitled to prevent the aircraft from resuming its flight on the condition that they shall advise the Authority immediately, communicating to it all details necessary to formulate the judgement referred to in (1) of this sub-regulation.

(3) When the Authority considers that the damage sustained is of a nature

such that the aircraft is no longer airworthy, it shall prohibit the aircraft from resuming flight until it is restored to an airworthy condition. The Authority may, however, in exceptional circumstances, prescribe particular limiting conditions to permit the aircraft to fly without fare-paying passengers to an aerodrome at which it can be restored to an airworthy condition, and the Contracting State that has originally in accordance with (2) of this sub-regulation prevented the aircraft from resuming flights shall permit such flight.

(4) When the Authority considers that the damage sustained is of a nature

such that the aircraft is still airworthy, the aircraft shall be allowed to resume its flight.

airworthiness directive applies, issued either by the State of design, or State of manufacture and adopted for Iraq registered aircraft by the Authority, or by the State of registry for aircraft operated within Iraq, except in accordance with the requirements of that airworthiness directive.

(4) When the Authority determines that an airframe or aeronautical product

has exhibited an unsafe condition and that condition is likely to exist or to develop in other products of the same type design, the Authority may issue an airworthiness directive prescribing inspections and the conditions and limitations, if any, under which those products may continue to be operated.
